Questions?
What does a Habitat for Humanity house cost?
The
average cost in the U.S.A. is $65,000.00.
How are families selected for partnership?
Habitat families must
be in need of simple, decent housing and have the ability to pay
an interest free no profit mortgage and a $500.00 down payment. They
must also be willing to work the required “sweat
equity” hours. More information may be obtained from Ruth Hultz,
Family Selection chairman. rhultz13@sbcglobal.net If you desire to live in the Coatsburgh area, please e-mail Linda Waite. This home will hopefully be built in 2008.
How does Habitat generate the money to build homes?
Quincy Area Habitat
for Humanity receives money from individual donors, gifts from area
churches, memorials made to loved ones, fundraisers, and grant money
from local foundations. Mortgages paid by partner families are also
a source of income. This money is used to purchase lots and building
material for the next home. Our affiliate is comprised of volunteers,
with no paid staff, so all money raised is used in the building process.
To donate, please send checks to Quincy Area Habitat for Humanity,
521 State, Quincy, Illinois 62301 or you may donate online by clicking
